Forskolin causes it as well, but the other constituents seem to play a larger role with GI discomfort.

problem with forskolin is that it oxidizes into lesser components very quickly which is why I echo your comment on the importance of getting it from a quality supplier. Furthermore, we really dont completely know what is present in forskolin supplements (You may find this interesting - PMID: 22178802)

Reference?

That makes perfect sense as I do get some "discomfort" from forskolin, but not too much with PureCamp-95. I have used this ingredient(in different products) 5 to 7 times now(forget exactly) and I am a fan. I always seem to recomp/lose a little weight.

What really interests me is the possibilities due to cAMP activation. If you put together the studies in vivo/vitro there seems to be a litany of possible positive effects. Granted, to what degree each effect is still unknown.

In reference to the "months to manifest," I have seen a few studies on how it does take time but those were certain circumstances(overweight men/women, non-athletes, senior citizens)...and at the same time I feel that it takes a couple months for just about every supplement to HELP make body composition changes(reference to majority on non-banned substances).

The reference would be the main sabinsa study that evaluated the effects of forskolin on body composition over a 3 month time span.

Quality control is a major issue with forskolin these days, and based on what I've seen from independent tests, I'm going to stick to Sabinsa-licensed like your very own Drive

Right, the fact that there was even a documented effect on body composition is impressive. How many supplements can say that?

Forskolin is nice, but it produces a nasty cholera-like effect in the intestine.

HA!!!! One time I was making a shake and accidentally dumped in like 10 grams of forskolin powder. I thought "what the heck, I don't think this powder is doing anything anyway" and decided to drink it anyway. I laid in bed and had the runs for 3 days straight!!!

Surprised you didn't have extreme headaches. Perhaps you had 0% Coleus Forskohlii
